The study unit contains two design tasks In the furniture design task, the students create co-furniture for existing furniture. The new furniture has a different function but it has to be structurally and visually compatible with the existing one. The new furniture will be represented by a model at 1:5 scale. In the spatial design task, the students create two spaces with two different atmospheres. The spaces should express spatial properties and feelings of two different phenomena. The phenomena will be abstract and the atmospheres will be created by architectural means. The plans will be represented by a model at 1:20 scale.
